Budapest is located in Middle Eastern Euroepe, the capital city of Hungary. I live here and I'd like to give you useful information about Budapest if you want to come here or just interested in. I'll post a lot of picture about Budapest in my photo blog (hotel, accommodation, restaurant, monuments, Castle, Chain Bridge, Parliament) most of them taken by me.

No, it was Duna Pláza as far as I recall... by only a month though. Duna Pláza opened in October 1996, while Pólus Center did so in November. Not much difference but as an admirer of such buildings I think Duna Pláza was far more "mall like" in many aspects and... I'd consider it a first even if it was opened later... but it wasn't. Until of course Westend and Mammut II came around... it was THE mall.
